Re/Max Realty Pros of Quincy recently listed the Beachcomber property at 797 Quincy Shore Drive for $1.6 million. The family-owned seaside bar, which opened in 1959, has a long history of hosting live music and has welcomed acts such as Louis Armstrong, Loretta Lynn and Bobby Darin.

“This is your chance to own a landmark or put your new ideas into action and redevelop this waterfront piece of land,” the listing reads.

Patrick McGettrick, who runs the club, couldn’t be reached for comment Thursday. McGettrick’s father, the late Jimmy McGettrick, opened the club 54 years ago.

The Beachcomber remains open. It features live bands and DJs on the weekend, karaoke on Wednesdays and Irish music on Sundays.

The Beachcomber property covers 1.38 acres and includes a 2,876-square-foot building, an outdoor patio and a 40-space parking lot. The lot is zoned “Residential A,” meaning it can be redeveloped for homes.

The Beachcomber booked mostly jazz and country-western acts in its first couple of decades before switching over to rock ’n’ roll in the 1980s. The club was renamed Nostalgia in 1982 and reverted back to the Beachcomber in 1999.

Some of the club’s most famous past acts include Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Loretta Lynn, Linda Rondstadt and the Dropkick Murphys. The venue also hosted stand-up comedy, including a set from Andover native and future late night talk-show star Jay Leno.

Jimmy McGettrick and his business partner Fred Crowley bought the club for $25,000 and opened it as the Beachcomber on March 17, 1959. McGettrick bought out Crowley in 1965.
